Fair enough Alan will do!

Was on tank water before, now on mains Cheers Adrienne, water changed and a bit of movement, will do another in the morning

Moved with in Masterton, the plan was that they would go back in the larger one tomorrow

Cheers Adrienne, Have water draining as we speak, Yeah I have my 2 fx5s running albeit turned down some what I did acclimatise but maybe not enough, Temp is the same from both tanks but dont know the previous ph as it was a sweet stable setup and stopped checking

Ok Have moved my fish today and currently have them in a holding tank (300 litre) moving large tank tomorrow and going to swap them back over My Plec looks all good as well as the corries but my loaches arnt looking good, floating around the tank, laying on bottom/side/ kind of wedged in loach hidy holes but this isnt normal behavior Ph is @ 6.5in tank, tap water is the same Ammonia 0 Nitrite <0.3 Nitrate between 5 and 10 Not too sure what to do, I could do a water change but water chemisty would stay the same! Half of the water thats in the tank is old water and half new water from here Anybody got any ideas please?? glen

How about this? http://www.fish-street.com/boyu_jx10_ti ... gory_id=60 I have one for my wave makers, works sweet! If that wont do then can I have a pic of the plug and the socket as my brain is not functioning today!

Agreed! but with a old teaspoon, no sharp edges!!

Chuck on a pic once you have cut it, we may be able to give you an idea of what type of wood it is

What filter did you inherit? you may be able to use this to help you drain the tank (speeds up water changes)

You could always cut it up (well the arms and legs off) and pre drill it so its ready to screw back together

Sweet cheers Josh

A few years back i used to be able to buy pleco food that would stick to the side of the tank, Was a great way to see them feeding, Does any one know what brand of if/where they would be available Cheers

Guess i am off to the lfs this weekend cheers Ira

Not sure how hard or soft our water is tbh Or how to test for it

Mainly the crypts and tiger lotus, The java fern doesn't seem to do well in that tank And the swords seem to get beaten up I prolly shouldn't put all the blame on the clowns as there is a large common pleco in the tank too I am still wavering on a proper co2 unit, if anything it will help to keep the bba away and costing it over 2-3 years would be cheaper than flourish excel!
